Off To War... Recriutment/Discussion

[Gondsman]

(but you haven't read every single post in the multiple threads of this year-long campaign for sure)

Actually I have at very least skimmed over every single post, yours are definitely more skim that read but then most of your posts have a lot of yelling at people and other stuff that i found irrelevant to the adventure.



I can poke little holes in his logic all day. I think it totally within the realms of fantasy and physics that you could hold a bow back for a little while if you did it often enough (physics also knows nothing of the physical capabilities of Elves), and yes magic does beat physics, that is what magic is. My point is we don't play this game to correctly reenact the past, and corndogs and Rolexes at the renaissance fair don't bother me in the least.

and dang the fact that text doesn't carry emotion, I'm really not trying to rag on you here it's just my feelings on the matter.

@Myth: I really like these videos you find. I feel smarter about history already. Nice work.

@Gondsman: Thanks for sharing your feelings. It always helps to understand where someone is coming from. Both, ooc and ic.

@HolyMan: Thanks for clarifying HM. I do my best to remember anything I write down in my posts. Since you RP'ed Marko for a small time, I must not have made a mental-note of that conversation. Hehe. I add titles to all my posts so I can have an easier time backtracking to find specific topics. Nice job.

Thanks Deskjob I will be sending you translations soon as i find my notes,

I try nd be historic as possible only for the simple reason it makes it easier to understand/picture. But tehn most of my history comes from movies and it seems they are wrong (at least about bows anyway LOL)

oh ML I hope that guy doesn't go see Robin Hood.

[sblock=Gondsman]As a matter of fact, all of my posts are quite relevant to the character i am roleplaying. I have not once strayed from the image of Lora i had conjured when i joined this game, nor have i stopped her growth in the intended direction. Every word, thought and action has been carefully considered from the heroine's POV.

Advancing the adventure is the DM's job, not mine. In fact, if you had not skimmed but bothered reading all those things you found irrelevant, you would see her growth and the mixed feelings she has been having.

Trinham and Claude disliked Lora severely at first, and yet recently they both found merit in the girl, and that is testament that I'm not writing this character only for my won amusement and with a disregard to the story, as obviously the other players are enjoying her as well. I as a player enjoy FM's, Ghostcat's and Dragonwriter's characters as well, even though Lora is not going to stop yelling at them any time soon.

That is the last i will say on the matter.[/sblock]

i've moved my comments with ML to a more private forum.


Note the gray italic text is internal dialog for the benefit of the game not the characters.

 

[HolyMan]

So noted, but do you give away what you are thinking through facial expressions and body language?

i.e. where were your eyes when you wondered what Lora might be like in bed?? LOL

[Gondsman]

the smirk is the only visual cue and my eyes are no-place in particular when it takes place.


btw, Myth, I really like the "slick" though it has nothing at all to do with how i imagined the character.

Uh, yeah, that's not such a great idea.

Movies tend to get a lot of stuff wrong, as far as the actual methods go. Hollywood particularly likes the idea of a sword either being super-light and about one pound, or super-heavy at twenty pounds. Totally wrong. Same goes for most of their "armored knights." Heavy armor wasn't nearly as constrictive as movies make it seem. Yeah, it was heavy and tough, but if you fall over, you can get back up and keep fighting (unlike the "turtle effect" in movies, which is the case with jousting armor, but not fighting armor).

There are a few movies that get the stuff well, but most of them mess it up.

 

[HolyMan]

Thanks DW know how to make a guy feel dumb, LOL

I get most of my armor ideals from the old Excaliber movie (with Patrick Stewart before Star Trek but still bald?//go figure). They seemed to have the right of it. they moved around just alittle bit slowly.

@Frozen: Sorry if we posted together. I didn't want to edit my post cause I figured it still worked well with yours. No biggie. I didn't even realize you posted at all for quite awhile. But, hooray for placeholders!

@Gondsman: A more private forum for conversing with Myth? I invite you to join a fun game and you start picking fights? *tisk tisk*

Your making me look bad bro... I hope your comments are only jesting in nature. If so, then just ignore this. I approve of brotherly love in the form of teasing. If not, then I will digitally slap you. *slap slap slap* (that third slap was just for fun... Hehe...)
